The sentence "The herd is in the north pasture." displays correct subject-verb agreement.
The correct sentence is:
The bike on the bike rack is blue.
The correct sentences are:
1. The cars in the parking lot belong to the teachers.
To determine the correct sentence, you need to ensure subject-verb agreement. In this case, "cars" is a plural noun, so it should be paired with the plural verb "belong." The verb "belongs" is incorrect because it is singular.
2. The bike on the bike rack is blue.
This sentence is grammatically correct. The subject ("bike") is singular, so the singular verb "is" is used.
3. The surface of the parking lots was redone this summer.
The correct verb to use here is "was" because the subject ("surface") is singular. The verb "were" is incorrect because it is plural.
4. The sidewalks in the courtyards have been decorated with chalk.
The correct verb to use here is "have been" because the subject ("sidewalks") is plural. The verb "has" is incorrect because it is singular.
